You are cordially invited to the EBRD 2017 Business Forum, to be held at the Twenty-sixth Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors in Nicosia, Cyprus, from Tuesday to Thursday, 9-11 May 2017 and to a special Alumni Reception which will be held on Thursday 11 May 2017 from 16:30.

Following successful Alumni receptions held during the EBRD Annual Meetings in Warsaw (2014), Tbilisi (2015) and London (2016), the EBRD Alumni Association is pleased to hold its fourth such event in Nicosia this year. The event will provide an opportunity to network, re-connect with former colleagues and friends, and meet fellow alumni, as well as members of the Bank’s management and senior staff.

The Alumni Reception will offer an opportunity to hear from the EBRD President; from Dragica Pilipović Chaffey, VP Corporate Affairs, United Group, formerly EBRD Country Director for Poland and the Baltic States (2007-08), Serbia and Montenegro (2003-07), and Russia (1999-2003); and from George Krivicky, Alumni Association Chairman, followed by a video on the Alumni Association, and a reception, including drinks and canapés.

EBRD alumni wishing to attend the full Business Forum from 9 until 11 May are eligible for a 75 per cent reduction on the standard registration fee. Alumni thus pay £200.00 (or €231.25 or $243.75).
